Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the refrigerator, which
do not affect its correct operation.
Sounds, which can be easily prevented:
• noise caused by the appliance which is not level - adjust the position
with the adjustable turn-in front feet. Alternatively, place pads made
of soft material under the rear rollers, especially when the appliance
is placed on tiles.
• touching the adjacent piece of furniture - move the refrigerator away.
• creaking of the drawers or shelves - take out and put back the drawer
or shelf.
• sounds of clinking bottles - move bottles apart.
Sounds heard during normal use are mainly due to operation of the ther-
mostat, compressor (switching on) and cooling system (thermal expan -
sion and contraction of the radiator caused by flow of the cooling agent).
